Description

保護元件Protective components

本發明係關於一種保護元件。 The invention relates to a protection element.

本案係基於2018年11月7日於日本申請之日本專利特願2018-209897號主張優先權,並將其內容引用於此。 This case claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-209897, which was filed in Japan on November 7, 2018, and the contents are cited here.

先前,將具備於超過額定之電流流過時發熱並熔斷而將電流路徑截斷之保險絲元件之保護元件(保險絲元件)用作電路之保護元件。 Previously, a protective element (fuse element) having a fuse element that generates heat and melts when a current exceeding a rated current flows, thereby blocking the current path, has been used as a circuit protection element.

作為保護元件,例如較多地使用玻璃管中封入有焊料之保險盒固定型保險絲、於陶瓷基板表面印刷有Ag電極之晶片保險絲、使銅電極之一部分變細裝入至塑膠盒中之螺夾或***型保護元件等。 As protective components, for example, fuse box-fixed fuses with solder enclosed in a glass tube, chip fuses with Ag electrodes printed on the surface of ceramic substrates, and screw clips in which a part of the copper electrode is tapered and packed into a plastic box are commonly used. Or plug-in protection components, etc.

該保護元件難以藉由回焊進行表面安裝,零件安裝之效率變低,因此,近年來開發出表面安裝型保護元件(例如參照專利文獻1、2)。 This protective element is difficult to surface mount by reflow, and the efficiency of component mounting becomes low. Therefore, in recent years, surface-mounted protective elements have been developed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

表面安裝型保護元件例如用作使用鋰離子二次電池之電池組之過充電或過電流之保護元件。鋰離子二次電池用於筆記型電腦、行動電話、智慧型手機等行動機器,近年來亦用於電動工具、電動腳踏車、電動機車及電動汽車等。因此,一直要求大電流、高電壓用保護元件。 The surface-mounted protection element is used, for example, as an overcharge or overcurrent protection element for a battery pack using a lithium-ion secondary battery. Lithium-ion secondary batteries are used in mobile devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones, and smartphones. In recent years, they are also used in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles. Therefore, there has been a demand for protective components for large currents and high voltages.

於高電壓用保護元件,當保險絲元件熔斷時可能產生電弧放電。若產生電弧放電,則存在保險絲元件大範圍地熔融,蒸汽化之金屬 飛散之情形。於此情形時,存在藉由飛散之金屬重新形成電流路徑,或者飛散之金屬附著於端子或周圍之電子零件等之虞。因此,於高電壓用保護元件,實施了不產生電弧放電或停止電弧放電之對策。 For high voltage protection components, arc discharge may occur when the fuse component blows. If arc discharge occurs, there will be large-scale melting and vaporization of metal in the fuse element. The situation of scattering. In this case, there is a risk that the current path may be re-formed by the scattered metal, or that the scattered metal may adhere to terminals or surrounding electronic components. Therefore, measures to prevent or stop arc discharge are implemented in high-voltage protective devices.

作為不產生電弧放電或停止電弧放電之對策,已知有於保險絲元件之周圍裝滿消弧材(例如參照專利文獻3)。 As a measure to prevent arc discharge or to stop arc discharge, it is known to fill the periphery of a fuse element with an arc extinguishing material (for example, see Patent Document 3).

又,作為停止電弧放電之其他方法,已知有將保險絲元件與蓄積著彈性恢復力之狀態之彈簧串聯地連接由低熔點金屬接合之類型之保護元件(例如參照專利文獻4~6)。於此種類型之保護元件中,當過電流流過導致低熔點金屬熔融時,藉由彈簧之彈性恢復力促進彈簧與保險絲元件之分離,從而能夠迅速地截斷過電流。 As another method for stopping arc discharge, a protection element of a type in which a fuse element and a spring accumulating elastic restoring force are connected in series and joined by a low-melting point metal are known (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 to 6). In this type of protection element, when overcurrent flows and the low-melting-point metal melts, the elastic restoring force of the spring promotes the separation of the spring and the fuse element, thereby quickly cutting off the overcurrent.

電弧放電依存於電場強度(電壓/距離),電弧放電於接點間距離成為某一間隔以上之前不停止。因此,使用彈簧之類型之保護元件利用彈簧之彈性恢復力,將彈簧與保險絲元件迅速地分離至無法維持電弧放電之距離,藉此迅速地停止電弧放電。 Arc discharge depends on the electric field strength (voltage/distance), and the arc discharge does not stop until the distance between contacts becomes more than a certain interval. Therefore, using a spring-type protection element utilizes the elastic restoring force of the spring to quickly separate the spring and the fuse element to a distance where the arc discharge cannot be maintained, thereby quickly stopping the arc discharge.

圖1~圖3所示之保護元件100具備第1電極1、具有彈性之第2電極2、及配置於第1電極1與第2電極2之間之保險絲元件材3。保險絲元件材3係由第1電極1與彎曲狀態之第2電極2夾著支持。 The protection element 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a first electrode 1 , an elastic second electrode 2 , and a fuse element material 3 arranged between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 . The fuse element material 3 is sandwiched and supported by the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 in a bent state.

<第1電極> <1st electrode>

第1電極1包含導電材料。作為導電材料,例如可使用金屬(包含合金)。作為具體之導電材料之例,可列舉銅、黃銅、鎳、不鏽鋼、42合金 等。於第1電極1自身亦與第2電極2相同地具有彈性之情形時,可使用與第2電極2相同之材料,下文敍述。 The first electrode 1 contains a conductive material. As the conductive material, for example, metal (including alloys) can be used. Specific examples of conductive materials include copper, brass, nickel, stainless steel, and 42 alloy. wait. When the first electrode 1 itself has the same elasticity as the second electrode 2, the same material as the second electrode 2 can be used, as described below.

第1電極1之形狀(下述爪部以外之部分之形狀)係圖1所示者於俯視下整體為長方形,但只要實現本發明之效果,則可使用任意形狀。於圖1所示之例中,第1電極1為板狀構件。 The shape of the first electrode 1 (the shape of the portion other than the claws described below) is a rectangle as a whole in a plan view as shown in FIG. 1 , but any shape may be used as long as the effects of the present invention are achieved. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the first electrode 1 is a plate-shaped member.

於圖1所示之例中,第1電極1於其一端1A具備用以穩定地支持保險絲元件材3之爪部1a。又,於圖1所示之例中,第1電極1所具備之爪部1a之前端1aA具備為了能夠更穩定地支持保險絲元件材3而向保險絲元件材3側彎折之彎曲部1aAa。即,彎曲部1aAa具有防止保險絲元件材3脫落之功能。 In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the first electrode 1 has a claw portion 1 a for stably supporting the fuse element material 3 at one end 1A. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the front end 1aA of the claw portion 1a of the first electrode 1 has a bent portion 1aAa bent toward the fuse element material 3 in order to support the fuse element material 3 more stably. That is, the bent portion 1aAa has the function of preventing the fuse element material 3 from falling off.

於圖1所示之例中,第1電極1所具備之爪部為1個,但爪部之數量亦可為2個以上。於具備複數個爪部之情形時,該等爪部可彼此相同,亦可不同。又,一端1A中之爪部1a之位置只要能夠穩定地支持則可任意選定。 In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the first electrode 1 has one claw portion, but the number of the claw portions may be two or more. When there are a plurality of claw parts, the claw parts may be the same as each other or may be different. In addition, the position of the claw portion 1a in the one end 1A can be selected arbitrarily as long as it can be stably supported.

圖4係第1實施形態之保護元件之其他一例之俯視模式圖。圖4所示之保護元件200係第1電極21具備2個爪部(21a、21b)。於圖4中,符號與圖1相同之構件作為相同之構件而省略說明。 FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of another example of the protection element according to the first embodiment. The protective element 200 shown in FIG. 4 has the first electrode 21 having two claw portions (21a, 21b). In FIG. 4 , components with the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 are regarded as the same components and description thereof is omitted.

作為第1電極1之厚度,並無限定,就其標準而言可設為0.05~0.5mm。 The thickness of the first electrode 1 is not limited, but can be set to 0.05 to 0.5 mm as a standard.

<第2電極> <Second electrode>

第2電極2包含具有彈性之導電材料。作為具有彈性之導電材料,可例示金屬(包含合金)。其中,較佳為低電阻且適於板彈簧材料之金屬材料 (包含合金),作為具體之材料,可列舉磷青銅、銅合金、鈦銅、卡遜合金、鈹銅等。 The second electrode 2 includes an elastic conductive material. Examples of the elastic conductive material include metals (including alloys). Among them, metal materials with low resistance and suitable for leaf spring materials are preferred. (Including alloys). Specific materials include phosphor bronze, copper alloy, titanium copper, Carson alloy, beryllium copper, etc.

此處,本說明書中所謂之「彈性」係指當施加力時產生變形,當解除力時恢復原狀之性質,具體而言,表示以彎曲狀態支持保險絲元件材3之電極於過電流導致保險絲元件材3切斷後返回彎曲前之位置。即,於本實施形態之保護元件100中,於使電極在可彈性變形範圍內彎曲之狀態下,以夾持之方式支持保險絲元件材3。設為彎曲狀態者既可為電極整體,亦可為電極之一部分。於電極之一部分以彎曲之狀態支持保險絲元件材3之情形(例如圖1之情形)時,負責彈性者為彎曲之電極之該一部分。 Here, "elasticity" as used in this specification refers to the property of deforming when a force is applied and returning to the original shape when the force is removed. Specifically, it means that the electrodes supporting the fuse element material 3 in a bent state cause the fuse element to deform due to an overcurrent. After cutting, the material 3 returns to the position before bending. That is, in the protection element 100 of this embodiment, the fuse element material 3 is supported by clamping in a state where the electrode is bent within the elastically deformable range. The one in the bent state may be the entire electrode or a part of the electrode. When a part of the electrode supports the fuse element material 3 in a bent state (for example, the situation in FIG. 1 ), the part of the bent electrode is responsible for the elasticity.

第2電極2之形狀係圖1所示者於俯視下整體為長方形,但只要實現本發明之效果,則亦能夠使用任意形狀。於圖1所示之例中,第2電極2為板狀構件。 The shape of the second electrode 2 is a rectangle as a whole in a plan view as shown in FIG. 1 , but any shape can be used as long as the effects of the present invention are achieved. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the second electrode 2 is a plate-shaped member.

於圖1所示之例中,第2電極2於其一端2A具備用以支持保險絲元件材3之爪部2a、爪部2b。又,於圖1所示之例中,第2電極2所具備之爪部2a之前端2aA具備為了能夠更穩定地支持保險絲元件材3而向保險絲元件材3側彎折之彎曲部2aAa。爪部2b之前端2bA亦具備彎曲部2bAa。於圖1所示之例中,第2電極2具備2個爪部2a、2b,但爪部之數量亦可為1個,又,亦可為3個以上。 In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the second electrode 2 has a claw portion 2 a and a claw portion 2 b for supporting the fuse element material 3 at its one end 2A. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the front end 2aA of the claw portion 2a of the second electrode 2 has a bent portion 2aAa bent toward the fuse element material 3 in order to support the fuse element material 3 more stably. The front end 2bA of the claw part 2b also has a curved part 2bAa. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the second electrode 2 has two claw portions 2 a and 2 b, but the number of claw portions may be one, or three or more.

於如圖1所示之例般具備複數個爪部2a、2b之情形時,該等爪部可彼此相同,亦可不同。如圖1所示之例般,因以使第2電極2中爪部2a、2b彎曲之狀態支持保險絲元件材3,故爪部2a、2b之構成(寬度、厚度、或形狀等)較大地影響保險絲元件材3之切斷或剪切。 When a plurality of claw portions 2a and 2b are provided as in the example shown in FIG. 1 , the claw portions may be the same as each other or may be different. As shown in FIG. 1 , since the claw portions 2a and 2b of the second electrode 2 are bent to support the fuse element material 3, the structure (width, thickness, shape, etc.) of the claw portions 2a and 2b is greatly increased. Affect the cutting or shearing of the fuse component material 3.

此處,本說明書所謂之「剪切」係指如剪斷保險絲元件材之作用。又,下述所謂「剪力」係當使彼此反向之一對力平行地作用於保險絲元件材3之某一剖面時,保險絲元件材3受到如沿著該面滑移切割之作用,而賦予此種作用之力。自第1電極1之爪部1a及第2電極2之爪部2a、2b之各者向保險絲元件材3賦予彼此反向之一對力。 Here, the term “cutting” in this manual refers to an action such as cutting off the fuse element material. In addition, the so-called "shear force" below means that when a pair of forces in opposite directions act parallel to a certain cross section of the fuse element material 3, the fuse element material 3 is subjected to an action such as sliding cutting along the surface, and Give it the power to do this. Each of the claw portion 1 a of the first electrode 1 and the claw portions 2 a and 2 b of the second electrode 2 imparts a pair of forces in opposite directions to the fuse element material 3 .

作為第2電極2之厚度,並無限定,但就其標準而言,可設為0.05~0.5mm。 The thickness of the second electrode 2 is not limited, but as a standard, it can be set to 0.05 to 0.5 mm.

第2電極2之厚度係整體可為相同厚度,但亦可具有厚度不同之部分。例如,設為僅使將保險絲元件材3夾著支持之部分(圖1之例中為爪部2a、2b)變薄而未使除此以外之部分變薄之構成,藉此,能夠一面維持作為與外部之連接端子之剛性,一面提昇夾持保險絲元件材之彈性。 The thickness of the second electrode 2 may be the same thickness as a whole, but may also have portions with different thicknesses. For example, by thinning only the portions (claw portions 2a and 2b in the example of FIG. 1 ) that sandwich and support the fuse element material 3 without thinning the other portions, it is possible to maintain the As the rigidity of the connection terminal with the outside, the elasticity of the material holding the fuse element is improved.

作為使第2電極2之一部分變薄之方法,例如可使用壓延等公知之金屬加工之方法。 As a method of thinning a part of the second electrode 2, a known metal processing method such as rolling can be used.

<保險絲元件材> <Fuse component material>

作為保險絲元件材3,可使用公知之保險絲元件中使用之材料。保險絲元件材3係即便於具備保護元件之裝置通常作動過程中之通電引起之溫度下施加力,亦不實質(於實現本發明之效果之範圍內)變形之構件。其原因在於,若並非如此,則保險絲元件材3經時地變形,無法實現作為保險絲元件材之功能。因此,保險絲元件材3並非施加力後變形之薄片等,而是即便施加力亦不變形之塊材(板狀、棒狀、角材狀等)。 As the fuse element material 3, materials used in known fuse elements can be used. The fuse element material 3 is a member that does not substantially deform (within the scope of achieving the effects of the present invention) when a force is applied at temperatures caused by energization during normal operation of a device equipped with a protective element. The reason for this is that if this is not the case, the fuse element material 3 will deform over time and will not be able to fulfill its function as the fuse element material. Therefore, the fuse element material 3 is not a sheet or the like that deforms when a force is applied, but a block material (plate-shaped, rod-shaped, angular-shaped, etc.) that does not deform even if a force is applied.

保險絲元件材3由第1電極1與彎曲狀態之第2電極2夾著支持。更詳細而言,於圖1~圖3所示之例中,保險絲元件材3係由第1電極1 具備之爪部1a與第2電極2具備之彎曲狀態之爪部2a、爪部2b以夾著之狀態支持。此處,第1電極1具備之爪部1a與第2電極2具備之爪部2a、2b如圖1所示較佳為交替排列地配置。即,較佳為以俯視下不重疊之方式依序配置爪部2a、爪部1a、爪部2b。 The fuse element material 3 is sandwiched and supported by the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 in a bent state. More specifically, in the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , the fuse element material 3 is composed of the first electrode 1 The claw portion 1 a provided and the claw portion 2 a and the claw portion 2 b provided in the second electrode 2 are supported in a sandwiched state. Here, it is preferable that the claw portion 1a of the first electrode 1 and the claw portions 2a and 2b of the second electrode 2 are arranged alternately as shown in FIG. 1 . That is, it is preferable to arrange the claw part 2a, the claw part 1a, and the claw part 2b in order so that they may not overlap in plan view.

保險絲元件材3之尺寸(視形狀為厚度、寬度、長度等)若為不因通常作動過程中之通電(實現本發明之效果之範圍內)而變形之構成,則可採用過電流流過後可由第1電極1與彎曲狀態之第2電極2切斷之任意尺寸。 If the dimensions (thickness, width, length, etc. depending on the shape) of the fuse element material 3 are not deformed by energization during normal operation (within the scope of achieving the effects of the present invention), then the fuse element material 3 can be configured to be deformed after the overcurrent flows. The first electrode 1 is cut into any size from the second electrode 2 in a bent state.

於保護元件100中,使具有彈性之第2電極2之爪部2a、2b於彎曲狀態下與第1電極1之爪部1a一同自上下夾著支持保險絲元件材3。第2電極2以返回第1電極1之爪部1a側之方式彎曲。因此,保險絲元件材3中自第2電極2之爪部2a、2b向第1電極1之爪部1a賦予力,並且自第1電極1向第2電極2賦予力。即,自第1電極1與第2電極2向保險絲元件材3反向地賦予力。 In the protective element 100, the elastic claw portions 2a and 2b of the second electrode 2 are bent together with the claw portion 1a of the first electrode 1 to support the fuse element material 3 from above and below. The second electrode 2 is bent so as to return to the claw portion 1a side of the first electrode 1 . Therefore, in the fuse element material 3 , a force is applied from the claw portions 2 a and 2 b of the second electrode 2 to the claw portion 1 a of the first electrode 1 , and a force is applied from the first electrode 1 to the second electrode 2 . That is, force is applied from the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 to the fuse element material 3 in the opposite direction.

於該狀態下,過電流流入具備保護元件100之裝置,保險絲元件材3之溫度變得高於通常之作動過程中之通電產生之溫度,其結果,當保險絲元件材3變軟或半熔融時,保險絲元件材3被自第1電極1之爪部1a與第2電極2之爪部2a、2b賦予之力切斷或剪切,從而截斷電路電流。如此,於保護元件100中,物理地切斷保險絲元件材3自身之方面不同於將保險絲元件與彈簧之接合切離之上述彈簧利用類型之保護元件。可認為不僅於保險絲元件材3在未熔融而僅變軟之狀態下被切斷之情形,而且於一部分未熔融之狀態下被切斷之情形時,可謂上述剪力之剪切之情形較多,但亦可於不能稱為剪力之剪切之態樣下切斷保險絲元件材3。 In this state, an overcurrent flows into the device equipped with the protective element 100, and the temperature of the fuse element material 3 becomes higher than that caused by energization during normal operation. As a result, the fuse element material 3 becomes soft or semi-melted. The fuse element material 3 is cut or sheared by the force imparted from the claw portion 1a of the first electrode 1 and the claw portions 2a and 2b of the second electrode 2, thereby interrupting the circuit current. Thus, in the protective element 100, the point of physically cutting off the fuse element material 3 itself is different from the above-mentioned spring utilizing type protective element which cuts off the engagement between the fuse element and the spring. It is considered that there are many cases where the fuse element material 3 is cut not only in a state where it is not melted but only softened, but also when a part of it is cut in a state where it is not melted. It can be said that shearing by the above shear force is common. , but the fuse element material 3 can also be cut under a shearing state that cannot be called shearing force.

又,電弧放電依存於與距離成反比之電場強度,因此切斷後之保險絲元件材3必須增大切斷面彼此之距離。保護元件100係藉由第1電極1之爪部1a切斷之保險絲元件材3之切斷面與藉由第2電極2之爪部2a、2b切斷之保險絲元件材3之切斷面之距離因第2電極2之爪部2a、2b之彈性恢復力(因彈性而恢復原狀之力)而急速變大。因此,能夠迅速地停止電弧放電。 In addition, arc discharge depends on the electric field intensity which is inversely proportional to the distance. Therefore, the distance between the cut surfaces of the cut fuse element material 3 must be increased. The protective element 100 is a cross-section of the fuse element material 3 cut by the claw portion 1 a of the first electrode 1 and a cross-section of the fuse element material 3 cut by the claw portions 2 a and 2 b of the second electrode 2 . The distance rapidly increases due to the elastic restoring force (the force to return to the original shape due to elasticity) of the claw portions 2a and 2b of the second electrode 2. Therefore, arc discharge can be stopped quickly.

又,保護元件100能夠於保險絲元件材3達到熔融狀態前變軟之溫度、即低於達到熔融狀態之溫度之溫度下切斷保險絲元件材3,因此,能夠降低電弧放電之產生風險。 In addition, the protection element 100 can cut the fuse element material 3 at a temperature at which the fuse element material 3 softens before reaching a molten state, that is, at a temperature lower than the temperature at which it reaches a molten state. Therefore, the risk of arc discharge can be reduced.

保險絲元件材3可設為由包含高熔點金屬層及低熔點金屬層之積層體構成者。於該構成之情形時,一面藉由高熔點金屬層維持保險絲元件材3之剛性,一面藉由具備低熔點金屬層使保險絲元件材3於低溫下變得柔軟或成為半熔融狀態,從而能夠切斷保險絲元件材。 The fuse element material 3 may be composed of a laminate including a high-melting-point metal layer and a low-melting-point metal layer. In this configuration, while the rigidity of the fuse element material 3 is maintained by the high-melting-point metal layer, the fuse element material 3 becomes soft or semi-molten at low temperatures by providing the low-melting-point metal layer, so that it can be cut. Broken fuse component material.

作為低熔點金屬層中使用之低熔點金屬,較佳為使用以Sn為主成分之無Pb焊料等焊料。其原因在於,Sn係熔點為217℃,因此,以Sn為主成分之焊料為低熔點,於低溫下變軟。 As the low-melting-point metal used in the low-melting-point metal layer, it is preferable to use solder such as Pb-free solder containing Sn as the main component. The reason is that the melting point of Sn is 217°C. Therefore, solder containing Sn as the main component has a low melting point and becomes soft at low temperatures.

作為高熔點金屬層中使用之高熔點金屬,較佳為使用Ag、Cu或以該等為主成分之合金等。其原因在於,例如,Ag係熔點為962℃,因此,包含以Ag為主成分之合金之高熔點金屬層能夠於低熔點金屬層變軟之溫度下維持剛性。 As the high-melting-point metal used in the high-melting-point metal layer, it is preferable to use Ag, Cu, or alloys containing these as main components. The reason for this is that, for example, the melting point of Ag is 962°C. Therefore, the high-melting-point metal layer containing an alloy containing Ag as the main component can maintain rigidity at a temperature at which the low-melting-point metal layer softens.

作為積層體之構造,可採用各種構造。將模式性地表示積層體之構造之例之立體圖示於圖5~圖8。 As the structure of the laminated body, various structures can be adopted. Figures 5 to 8 are perspective views schematically showing examples of the structure of the laminated body.

圖5所示之積層體(保險絲元件材)3A為方形狀或板狀,且 將低熔點金屬層3Aa作為內層,將高熔點金屬層3Ab作為外層。亦可將低熔點金屬層3Aa設為外層,將高熔點金屬層3Ab設為內層。 The laminated body (fuse element material) 3A shown in Fig. 5 has a square shape or a plate shape, and The low-melting-point metal layer 3Aa is an inner layer, and the high-melting-point metal layer 3Ab is an outer layer. The low-melting-point metal layer 3Aa may be an outer layer, and the high-melting-point metal layer 3Ab may be an inner layer.

圖6所示之積層體(保險絲元件材)3B為圓桿狀,且將低熔點金屬層3Ba作為內層,將高熔點金屬層3Bb作為外層。亦可將低熔點金屬層3Ba設為外層,將高熔點金屬層3Bb設為內層。 The laminated body (fuse element material) 3B shown in FIG. 6 is in the shape of a round rod, and has a low-melting-point metal layer 3Ba as an inner layer and a high-melting-point metal layer 3Bb as an outer layer. The low-melting-point metal layer 3Ba may be an outer layer, and the high-melting-point metal layer 3Bb may be an inner layer.

圖7所示之積層體(保險絲元件材)3C係方形狀或板狀,且積層低熔點金屬層3Ca及高熔點金屬層3Cb而成之二層構造。 The laminated body (fuse element material) 3C shown in FIG. 7 has a square shape or a plate shape, and has a two-layer structure in which a low-melting-point metal layer 3Ca and a high-melting-point metal layer 3Cb are laminated.

圖8所示之積層體(保險絲元件材)3D係方形狀或板狀,且藉由上下之高熔點金屬層3Db及高熔點金屬層3Dc夾住低熔點金屬層3Da而成之三層構造。相反地,亦可設為藉由兩層低熔點金屬層夾住高熔點金屬層而成之三層構造。 The laminated body (fuse element material) 3D shown in FIG. 8 has a square shape or a plate shape, and has a three-layer structure in which a low-melting-point metal layer 3Da is sandwiched between an upper and lower high-melting-point metal layer 3Db and a high-melting-point metal layer 3Dc. On the contrary, it may also be a three-layer structure in which two low-melting-point metal layers sandwich a high-melting-point metal layer.

圖5~圖8所示之積層體(保險絲元件材)3A~3D為二層或三層之積層體,但低熔點金屬層與高熔點金屬層之積層數量並無特別限制。保險絲元件材亦可為四層以上之積層體。 The laminated bodies (fuse element materials) 3A to 3D shown in Figures 5 to 8 are two-layer or three-layer laminated bodies, but the number of laminated low-melting-point metal layers and high-melting-point metal layers is not particularly limited. The fuse element material may also be a laminate of four or more layers.

第1電極1及第2電極2之至少一者與保險絲元件材3較佳為藉由焊料接合而成,更佳為第1電極1及第2電極2均與保險絲元件材3藉由焊料接合而成。其原因在於將第1電極1或第2電極2與保險絲元件材3之間之電阻降低之故。作為焊料之材料可使用公知者,但根據電阻率與熔點之觀點,較佳為以Sn為主成分者。 It is preferable that at least one of the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 and the fuse element material 3 are bonded by solder. More preferably, both the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 are bonded to the fuse element material 3 by solder. Become. The reason for this is to reduce the resistance between the first electrode 1 or the second electrode 2 and the fuse element material 3 . As the material of the solder, publicly known materials can be used, but from the viewpoint of resistivity and melting point, those containing Sn as the main component are preferred.

(第3實施形態) (Third Embodiment)

圖11及圖12係第3實施形態之保護元件之模式圖,圖11係立體模式圖,圖12係自圖11所示之箭頭A之方向觀察之側視模式圖。使用與上述實施形態相同之符號之構件係具有相同之構成者,故而省略說明。又,存在對於即便符號與上述實施形態不同但功能相同之構件省略說明之情形。於圖12中,S-S之虛線表示將第1電極51及第2電極52之各自去除爪部之部分(於保險絲元件材3之切斷後亦無實質變化之部分)51B、52B之厚度方向之中心面連接之面(S-S面)。 11 and 12 are schematic diagrams of the protection element of the third embodiment. Fig. 11 is a schematic perspective view, and Fig. 12 is a schematic side view viewed from the direction of arrow A shown in Fig. 11 . Components using the same reference numerals as those in the above-mentioned embodiment have the same structure, and therefore description thereof will be omitted. In addition, description may be omitted for components having the same functions even if their symbols are different from those in the above-mentioned embodiment. In FIG. 12 , the dotted line S-S represents the center of the thickness direction of the portions 51B and 52B of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 where the claw portions are removed (portions that do not substantially change after the fuse element material 3 is cut). The surface connected by the surface (S-S surface).

第3實施形態之保護元件相對於上述實施形態之保護元件主要之不同方面在於,除第2電極以外,第1電極亦具有彈性。 The main difference between the protection element of the third embodiment and the protection element of the above-mentioned embodiment is that in addition to the second electrode, the first electrode also has elasticity.

具體而言,圖11及圖12所示之保護元件500具備具有彈性之第1電極51、具有彈性之第2電極52、及配置於第1電極51與第2電極52之間之保險絲元件材3,保險絲元件材3由彎曲狀態之第1電極51與彎曲狀態之第2電極52夾著支持。又,第1電極51與第2電極52分別具有外部端子 孔55、56。 Specifically, the protection element 500 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 includes an elastic first electrode 51 , an elastic second electrode 52 , and a fuse element material arranged between the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 . 3. The fuse element material 3 is sandwiched and supported by the first electrode 51 in a bent state and the second electrode 52 in a bent state. In addition, the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 each have an external terminal. Holes 55, 56.

<第1電極> <1st electrode>

第1電極51因具有彈性而可使用與第1實施形態之第2電極2相同之材料。第1電極51於其一端51A具備用以穩定地支持保險絲元件材3之爪部51a。又,第1電極51所具備之爪部51a之前端51aA具備為了能夠更穩定地支持保險絲元件材3而向保險絲元件材3側彎折之彎曲部51aAa。第1電極51所具有之外部端子孔55可設為與第2實施形態之第1電極41所具有之外部端子孔45或第1電極41AA所具有之外部端子孔45A相同之構成。於圖11所示之保護元件500中,第1電極51為具有外部端子孔55之構成,但亦可不具有外部端子孔。 Since the first electrode 51 has elasticity, the same material as the second electrode 2 of the first embodiment can be used. The first electrode 51 has a claw portion 51 a for stably supporting the fuse element material 3 at one end 51A. In addition, the front end 51aA of the claw portion 51a of the first electrode 51 has a bent portion 51aAa bent toward the fuse element material 3 in order to support the fuse element material 3 more stably. The external terminal hole 55 of the first electrode 51 may have the same structure as the external terminal hole 45 of the first electrode 41 of the second embodiment or the external terminal hole 45A of the first electrode 41AA. In the protection element 500 shown in FIG. 11 , the first electrode 51 is configured to have the external terminal hole 55 , but it may not have the external terminal hole.

第1電極51之厚度係整體亦可為相同厚度,但亦可具有厚度不同之部分。例如,可藉由設為僅使夾著支持保險絲元件材之部分(圖11之例中為爪部51a)變薄而除此以外之部分未變薄之構成,而一面維持作為與外部之連接端子之剛性,一面提昇夾持保險絲元件材3之彈性。 The thickness of the first electrode 51 may be the same thickness as a whole, but may also have portions with different thicknesses. For example, it is possible to maintain the connection with the outside by making only the portion sandwiching the supporting fuse element material (the claw portion 51a in the example of FIG. 11 ) thinner and leaving the other portions unchanged. The rigidity of the terminal also improves the elasticity of the fuse component material 3 .

作為使第1電極51之一部分(圖11之例中為爪部51a)變薄之方法,例如可使用壓延等公知之金屬加工之方法。 As a method of thinning a part of the first electrode 51 (the claw portion 51a in the example of FIG. 11 ), for example, a known metal processing method such as rolling can be used.

<第2電極> <Second electrode>

第2電極52可使用與第1實施形態之第2電極2相同之材料。第2電極52係於其一端52A具備用以穩定地支持保險絲元件材3之爪部52a、52b。又,第2電極52所具備之爪部52a之前端52aA及爪部52b之前端(未圖示)分別具備為了能夠更穩定地支持保險絲元件材3而向保險絲元件材3側彎折之 彎曲部52aAa、彎曲部(未圖示)。第2電極52所具有之外部端子孔56可設為與第2實施形態之第2電極42所具有之外部端子孔46或第2電極42AA所具有之外部端子孔46A相同之構成。於圖11及圖12所示之保護元件500中,第2電極52為具有外部端子孔56之構成,但亦可不具有外部端子孔。 The second electrode 52 can be made of the same material as the second electrode 2 of the first embodiment. The second electrode 52 has claw portions 52a and 52b for stably supporting the fuse element material 3 at one end 52A. In addition, the front end 52aA of the claw portion 52a and the front end (not shown) of the claw portion 52b provided in the second electrode 52 each have a tip that is bent toward the fuse element material 3 in order to support the fuse element material 3 more stably. Bend portion 52aAa, bent portion (not shown). The external terminal hole 56 of the second electrode 52 may have the same structure as the external terminal hole 46 of the second electrode 42 or the external terminal hole 46A of the second electrode 42AA in the second embodiment. In the protection element 500 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 , the second electrode 52 is configured to have the external terminal hole 56 , but it may not have the external terminal hole.

於圖13及圖14中,對於圖11及圖12所示之保護元件500,示出保險絲元件材切斷後之模式圖。圖13係立體模式圖,圖14係自圖13所示之箭頭A之方向觀察之側視模式圖。圖14中以符號x表示之方向係與S-S面平行,且將第1電極51及第2電極52各自去除爪部之部分51B及部分52B連接之方向,另一方面,以符號z表示之方向係與第1電極51或第2電極52之厚度方向平行之方向。圖13及圖14之以符號3'表示者係保險絲元件材3藉由切斷而分割而成者。 In FIGS. 13 and 14 , a schematic view of the protective element 500 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is shown after the fuse element material is cut. FIG. 13 is a perspective view, and FIG. 14 is a side view viewed from the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 13 . The direction indicated by the symbol x in FIG. 14 is parallel to the S-S plane and connects the portion 51B and the portion 52B of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 respectively without the claw portion. On the other hand, the direction indicated by the symbol z It is a direction parallel to the thickness direction of the first electrode 51 or the second electrode 52 . What is indicated by the symbol 3' in FIGS. 13 and 14 is that the fuse element material 3 is divided by cutting.

如圖11~圖14所示,作為第1電極51中彎曲之部分(換言之,負責彈性之部分)之爪部51a於z方向上在保險絲元件材3切斷前位於較S-S面更靠上側(參照圖12),但在保險絲元件材3切斷後位於較S-S面更靠下側(參照圖14)。換言之,第1電極51之爪部51a於無使之彎曲之力之狀態下位於較S-S面更靠下側,但將保險絲元件材3以自上按下之方式彎曲。第1電極51之爪部51a因保險絲元件材3之切斷而失去使之彎曲之力,因彈性恢復力而恢復至原先之狀態。即,第1電極51之爪部51a係圖13及圖14所示之狀態為來自外部之力未進行作用之狀態。 As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 , the claw portion 51 a which is the curved portion (in other words, the portion responsible for elasticity) of the first electrode 51 is located above the S-S plane (in the z direction) before the fuse element material 3 is cut. (Refer to Figure 12), but after the fuse element material 3 is cut, it is located lower than the S-S plane (Refer to Figure 14). In other words, the claw portion 51a of the first electrode 51 is located below the S-S plane without bending force, but the fuse element material 3 is bent by pressing down from above. The claw portion 51a of the first electrode 51 loses the bending force due to the cutting of the fuse element material 3, and returns to its original state due to the elastic restoring force. That is, the claw portion 51a of the first electrode 51 is in a state in which external force does not act as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 .

同樣,作為第2電極52中彎曲之部分(換言之,負責彈性之部分)之爪部52a、52b於z方向上在保險絲元件材3切斷前位於較S-S面更靠下側(參照圖12),但在保險絲元件材3切斷後位於較S-S面更靠上側(參照圖14)。換言之,第2電極52之爪部52a、52b係於無使之彎曲之力之狀態 下位於較S-S面更靠上側者將保險絲元件材3以自下按壓之方式彎曲。第2電極52之爪部52a、52b因保險絲元件材3之切斷而失去使之彎曲之力,因彈性恢復力而恢復至原先之狀態。即,第2電極52(第2電極52之去除爪部之部分52B及爪部52a、52b)係圖13及圖14所示之狀態為來自外部之力未進行作用之狀態。 Similarly, the claw portions 52a and 52b, which are curved portions (in other words, portions responsible for elasticity) of the second electrode 52, are located lower than the S-S plane in the z direction before the fuse element material 3 is cut (see FIG. 12). , but it is located above the S-S plane after the fuse element material 3 is cut (see FIG. 14). In other words, the claw portions 52a and 52b of the second electrode 52 are in a state where there is no force to bend them. The fuse element material 3 is bent by pressing it from below while it is located above the S-S surface. The claw portions 52a and 52b of the second electrode 52 lose the bending force due to the cutting of the fuse element material 3, and return to their original state due to the elastic restoring force. That is, the second electrode 52 (the portion 52B of the second electrode 52 without the claw portion and the claw portions 52a and 52b) is in a state where no external force acts as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 .

圖11~圖14之使第1電極51及第2電極52彎曲之方法(爪部51a及爪部52a、52b之保險絲元件材3切斷前後之位置)係為一例,只要能夠實現本發明之效果則能夠任意設定。 The method of bending the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 in Figures 11 to 14 (the positions of the claw portion 51a and the claw portions 52a and 52b before and after the fuse element material 3 is cut) is an example. As long as the present invention can be realized, The effect can be set arbitrarily.

於圖15及圖16中,示出具有彈性之第1電極具備2個爪部之保護元件之模式圖。圖15係立體模式圖,圖16係過電流導致截斷後之立體模式圖。使用與上述實施形態相同之符號之構件因具有相同之構成而省略說明。又,存在對於即便符號與上述實施形態不同但功能相同之構件省略說明之情形。 FIGS. 15 and 16 show schematic diagrams of a protective element in which an elastic first electrode has two claw portions. Figure 15 is a three-dimensional model diagram, and Figure 16 is a three-dimensional model diagram after overcurrent causes truncation. Components using the same reference numerals as those in the above-mentioned embodiment have the same structure, and description thereof will be omitted. In addition, description may be omitted for components having the same functions even if their symbols are different from those in the above-mentioned embodiment.

具體而言,圖15所示之保護元件600具備具有彈性之第1電極61、具有彈性之第2電極52、及配置於第1電極61與第2電極52之間之保險絲元件材3,保險絲元件材3由彎曲狀態之第1電極61與彎曲狀態之第2電極52夾著支持。第1電極61於其一端具備2個用以穩定地支持保險絲元件材3之爪部(61a、61b)。又,第1電極61具有外部端子孔65。 Specifically, the protection element 600 shown in FIG. 15 includes an elastic first electrode 61, an elastic second electrode 52, and a fuse element material 3 arranged between the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 52. The fuse The element material 3 is sandwiched and supported by the first electrode 61 in a bent state and the second electrode 52 in a bent state. The first electrode 61 has two claw portions (61a, 61b) at one end thereof for stably supporting the fuse element material 3. Furthermore, the first electrode 61 has an external terminal hole 65 .

如圖15及圖16所示,作為第1電極61中彎曲之部分(負責彈性之部分)之爪部61a、61b於厚度方向上在保險絲元件材3切斷前位於較第1電極61之去除爪部之部分61B更靠上側(參照圖15),在保險絲元件材3切斷後位於較部分61B更靠下側(參照圖16)。換言之,第1電極61之爪部61a、61b於無彎曲力之狀態下位於較部分61B更靠下側,但以自上方按壓 保險絲元件材3之方式彎曲。第1電極61之爪部61a、61b因保險絲元件材3之切斷而失去使之彎曲之力,恢復至原先之狀態。即,第1電極61之爪部61a、61b係圖16所示之狀態為未作用有來自外部之力之狀態。 As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 , the claw portions 61 a and 61 b, which are the curved portions (the portions responsible for elasticity) of the first electrode 61 , are located farther than the first electrode 61 in the thickness direction before the fuse element material 3 is cut. The portion 61B of the claw portion is located on the upper side (refer to FIG. 15 ), and is located on the lower side than the portion 61B (refer to FIG. 16 ) after the fuse element material 3 is cut. In other words, the claw portions 61a and 61b of the first electrode 61 are located below the portion 61B when there is no bending force, but they can be pressed from above. The fuse element material is bent in 3 ways. The claw portions 61a and 61b of the first electrode 61 lose the bending force due to the cutting of the fuse element material 3, and return to their original state. That is, the claw portions 61a and 61b of the first electrode 61 are in a state shown in FIG. 16 in which no force from the outside acts.

同樣,作為第2電極52中彎曲之部分(負責彈性之部分)之爪部52a、52b於z方向上在保險絲元件材3切斷前位於較第2電極52之去除爪部之部分52B更靠下側(參照圖15),且在保險絲元件材3切斷後位於較部分52B更靠上側(參照圖16)。換言之,第2電極52之爪部52a、52b於無使之彎曲之力之狀態下位於較部分52B更靠上側,但保險絲元件材3以自下往上按壓之方式彎曲。第2電極52之爪部52a、52b因保險絲元件材3之切斷而失去使之彎曲之力,恢復至原先之狀態。即,第2電極52(第2電極52之去除爪部之部分52B及爪部52a、52b)係圖16所示之狀態為為作用有來自外部之力之狀態。 Similarly, the claw portions 52a and 52b, which are the curved portions (portions responsible for elasticity) of the second electrode 52, are located closer in the z direction than the portion 52B of the second electrode 52 from which the claw portions are removed before the fuse element material 3 is cut. The lower side (refer to FIG. 15 ), and is located above the portion 52B (refer to FIG. 16 ) after the fuse element material 3 is cut. In other words, the claw portions 52a and 52b of the second electrode 52 are located above the portion 52B without any bending force, but the fuse element material 3 is bent by being pressed from bottom to top. The claw portions 52a and 52b of the second electrode 52 lose the bending force due to the cutting of the fuse element material 3, and return to their original state. That is, the second electrode 52 (the portion 52B of the second electrode 52 excluding the claw portions and the claw portions 52a and 52b) is in a state in which an external force acts as shown in FIG. 16 .

Figure 20 is a perspective view viewed from the opposite side to Figure 19 . Components using the same reference numerals as those in the above-mentioned embodiment have the same structure, and description thereof will be omitted. In addition, description may be omitted for components having the same functions even if their symbols are different from those in the above-mentioned embodiment.

The heating element 70 may be connected to either the second electrode 52 or the fuse element material 3 .

發熱體70係電阻值相對較高,於通電時發熱且具有導電性之構件,例如可設為包含W、Mo、Ru等。 The heating element 70 is a member with a relatively high resistance value, generates heat when energized, and is electrically conductive, and may include W, Mo, Ru, etc., for example.

第3電極80包含導電材料,可使用與上述第1電極1相同之 材料。 The third electrode 80 contains a conductive material, and the same material as the first electrode 1 described above can be used. Material.

於圖19及圖20所示之保護元件700中,因具備發熱體70及第3電極80且第3電極80連接於第1電極61之構成,故能夠使電流流入第3電極80與第1電極61之間,使發熱體70發熱,從而將保險絲元件材3加熱。藉此,能夠切斷保險絲元件材3。 In the protective element 700 shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 , since the heating element 70 and the third electrode 80 are provided, and the third electrode 80 is connected to the first electrode 61 , current can flow into the third electrode 80 and the first electrode 61 . Between the electrodes 61, the heating element 70 generates heat, thereby heating the fuse element material 3. Thereby, the fuse element material 3 can be cut.

於圖21及圖22中,對於圖19及圖20所示之保護元件700,示出保險絲元件材切斷後之立體模式圖。圖21及圖22分別對應於圖19及圖20。 In FIGS. 21 and 22 , a perspective view of the protection element 700 shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 is shown after the fuse element material is cut. Figures 21 and 22 correspond to Figures 19 and 20 respectively.

如圖21及圖22所示,作為第1電極61中彎曲之部分之爪部61a、61b於厚度方向上在保險絲元件材3切斷前位於較第1電極61之去除爪部之部分61B更靠上側(參照圖20),且在保險絲元件材3切斷後位於較部分61B更靠下側(參照圖22)。換言之,第1電極61之爪部61a、61b係於無使之彎曲之力之狀態下位於較61B更靠下側者將保險絲元件材3以自上按下之方式彎曲,但因保險絲元件材3之切斷而失去使之彎曲之力,從而恢復至原先之狀態。 As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 , the claw portions 61 a and 61 b, which are the curved portions of the first electrode 61 , are located farther in the thickness direction than the portion 61B of the first electrode 61 in which the claw portions are removed before the fuse element material 3 is cut. It is located on the upper side (see FIG. 20 ) and is located on the lower side than the portion 61B (see FIG. 22 ) after the fuse element material 3 is cut. In other words, when the claw portions 61a and 61b of the first electrode 61 are located below 61B without bending force, the fuse element material 3 is bent by pressing down from above. 3 is cut off and loses the power to bend it, thus returning to its original state.

同樣,作為第2電極52中彎曲之部分之爪部52a、52b於厚度方向上在保險絲元件材3切斷前位於較第2電極52之去除爪部之部分52B更靠下側(參照圖20),且在保險絲元件材3切斷後位於較第2電極52之去除爪部之部分52B更靠上側(參照圖22)。換言之,第2電極52之爪部52a、52b係於無使之彎曲之力之狀態下位於較第2電極52之去除爪部之部分52B更靠上側者將保險絲元件材3以自下向上按壓之方式彎曲,但因保險絲元件材3之切斷而失去彎曲力,從而恢復至原先之狀態。 Similarly, the claw portions 52 a and 52 b, which are the curved portions of the second electrode 52 , are located lower in the thickness direction than the portion 52B of the second electrode 52 from which the claw portions are removed before the fuse element material 3 is cut (see FIG. 20 ), and is located above the portion 52B of the second electrode 52 in which the claw portion is removed after the fuse element material 3 is cut (see FIG. 22 ). In other words, the claw portions 52a and 52b of the second electrode 52 are positioned above the portion 52B of the second electrode 52 without the claw portions in a state where there is no force to bend the fuse element material 3 from the bottom up. However, due to the cutting of the fuse element material 3, the bending force is lost, thereby returning to the original state.

保險絲元件材3之切斷前,發熱體70係其下表面接觸於第1 電極61之爪部61a、61b,而保險絲元件材3切斷後,發熱體70係其下表面接觸於第2電極52之爪部52a、52b。進而,連結部90自第3電極80分開,從而因對發熱體70之通電中斷,發熱體70之發熱停止。 Before the fuse element material 3 is cut, the lower surface of the heating element 70 is in contact with the first After the claw portions 61a and 61b of the electrode 61 and the fuse element material 3 are cut, the lower surface of the heating element 70 is in contact with the claw portions 52a and 52b of the second electrode 52. Furthermore, the connecting portion 90 is separated from the third electrode 80, and the current flow to the heating element 70 is interrupted, so that the heating element 70 stops generating heat.
